Welcome to Chinese
Martial Arts Division of Athletic Balance, LLC
Our martial
arts training center was founded in February, 1998. Over
time our school has grown and in 2004 was incorporated as
Athletic Balance, LLC. In December, 2006 we relocated our
studio to a new and bigger location. Over the past 10 years,
our school has helped hundreds of students not only to
achieve their martial arts goals, but to improve in all
aspects of their lives, from self-discipline and
self-respect to increased flexibility, strength and
coordination. Our students cover a wide range of ages (from
4 to over 80) and expertise (beginner to advanced, as well
as Grandchampion titles). We offer a basic martial arts
curriculum for children and their families, as well as a
more comprehensive program, both internal and external
styles, for the serious martial artist. Also offered are tai
chi and chi kung courses for those people whose main concern
is with health and fitness. Our ultimate goal is to empower
each student through focused intent to realize their
unlimited potential.
Through our
Martial Arts training programs our classes focus on
the principles of teaching excellence and developing
positive role models under rich traditions of Chinese
Martial Arts,
introducing to our students
the values of self-control, self-discipline, personal
self-defense and physical fitness for every age and ability
level. Our goals are through our classes to reach the level
which provides our students with a powerful
foundation for emotional development and success skills that
last a lifetime. Traditionally, correct Kungfu training
provides an individual with an excellent method of exercise,
builds strength, character, focus, flexibility, and
coordination, while enhancing performance in other sports,
in the workplace, at home and in school. It promotes
self-esteem, goal setting abilities, anger management and
the skills of non-violent conflict resolution in people of all ages, helping them to become more productive
and healthy.
Regardless
of personal skill or fitness level, our school has something
for every age. Our instructors specialize in different areas
of a wide scale of Chinese martial arts.
Although we
emphasize traditional training, approaches with
modern training methods are incorporated into the curriculum
to fit our busy life styles and the complexities of modern
life. We offer classes for kids & teens, as well as for
adults. The styles taught in our school include the
traditional external system of Changquan (長拳
Long Fist) also know as Bei Quan (北拳
Northern
Boxing), which includes complete training for Ma Style Tongbeiquan (通備拳
Through Preparing Boxing) system, covering four styles:
Piguaquan
劈掛拳,
Bajiquan
八極拳,

The Emei system

styles of Tai Chi Chuan), Xingyiquan (形意拳
Hsing I Chuan), Baguazhang (八卦掌 Pa Kua Chang), Qigong (氣功 Chi Kung - for health, healing, and martial arts), and as
well, a new addition - Tibetan Yoga.
Whether
you're seeking weight loss, a championship belt, personal
defense, strength and endurance, deep relaxation, tumbles
and high flying acrobatics kicks, or just simply a good
workout, we have a program to fit your needs.
